    FWIW, if you do not know this, if the cabana price drops (I highly doubt since that is such a low price), purchase the new cabana at the lower price and than go back and cancel the higher price one.  There are limited numbers of cabanas, however, unlimited number of people looking on the planner.  They could have only 1 left.  By the time you cancel and come back to rebook at the lower price it can sell out.  I have seen this occur multiple times.

    ~ The way my husband and I have done this is:  1st purchase would be under his name.  2nd purchase (re-pricing) would go under my name.  Went back in and cancelled his purchase. We do this so we don't mistakenly cancel the cheaper cabana.  

     

     

    Great suggestion. I would have never thought to do this.

    Yes, contact the redemption number that @USCG Teacher gave above. Not possible to do this on the BOFA site. Also, if you want to have the OBC applied ASAP (as in a couple of weeks from now as opposed to a couple of weeks prior to your sailing date, ask the BOFA person that you speak with to apply it "now" (after you get that cruise booked, you'll need to give them the reservation number). Say "now" to them and let them know that there is a sale going on for some items you're looking at in the cruise planner. ?

     

    Question on having the OBC available "now" and using for Cruise Planner purchases.  If we do use it for a CP purchase, then find a better price at a later date on CP, and cancel the original CP purchase, will the OBC appear back as available immediately (or in the near future)?  If not, how do we get that credit back?  Will I have to call BofA again?

    Thanks for this, it is very helpful.

    Hi Mike. My experience with the OBC from BOFA is that they won't put it back in your points bank (what you see at the BOFA website). Instead, they'll move it to a new cruise with your direction.

    Ok, that would be great. We're in the process if booking another cruise so as soon as we're confirmed I'll get it switched over. @Baked Alaska any suggestion on contact method and contact details (phone number, email address, etc)? Thanks for your help. 

  10. What do I need to know about booking connecting rooms?

    Just shows how different peoples upbringings can be.  PLEASE don’t misunderstand, I am not in any way criticizing here.  We grew up in a 5 room apartment. My brother and I slept in the same room til he went to college and even though we moved into my grandmothers house with more bedrooms later, when he came home for a visit he still slept in my room so we could talk all night, didn’t even think about the fact he could sleep in another room now.

    vacationing with our kids, it would never even have occurred to me to get 2 room.  The room slept 4 and that’s how many we were.  Our last family trip, daughter was 24 and son was 19, still one room.  Yes I am “frugal” but it truly never occurred to me!  Taking them both on my retirement celebration cruise in Feb and, you guessed it, one room!  Ok it’s an OS but still just one room.  
    Looking back, maybe that extra bathroom would have been nice.

    Hope you have a great cruise!!

    I don't think you're criticizing at all and I appreciate your experiences. We were all set to book one room but when I did the pricing it was actually cheaper to book 2 connecting rooms than it would have been for the 4 of us in one room. Factor that with the added bathroom and extra space and it was a no brainer. 

  13. What do I need to know about booking connecting rooms?

    Plan is for my wife and one son to be booked in first room, and I and my other son booked in the connecting room. Planning a 3 nighter out of Port Canaveral in Aug 2021.  Would like to actually have my wife and I stay in 1 room and our boys stay in the other. Is this doable? What hurdles will we run into (ie beverage packages, OBC, etc)? Note: boys will be 14 and 8 at time of travel.
